There is no shame in changing direction, Harriet. In fact, once you've seen the warning signs, it's always wise to turn around.

"Ask God to heal your broken heart. He can put the pieces back together the right way so you'll be able to love your husband the way God does - forgiving him seventy times seven and wanting only the best for him.
